Kris Nations grew up in the southwestern city of El Paso, TX. Throughout her youth, she spent many summers traveling through the southwestern region of the United States to various art shows and galleries with her artist mother. Her appreciation for fashion, natural materials and craftsmanship formed early in her life with this unique exposure to various people, cultures, and art. This appreciation translates into well-crafted designs that take notice.

In 2004, Kris pulled together a collection of her jewels for local San Francisco boutiques. Kris started her line of jewelry with the intent of creating unique accessories that she believes are the key ingredients to creating individual style. Her inspiration often comes from her friends and family, creating pieces steeped in individual personalities and style.

"When you combine high quality gemstones, sterling silver, gold and other distinctive materials to a funky or whimsical idea, it turns into an elegant and sophisticated piece that is both timeless and unique."

Kris Nations Jewels have been available in popular boutiques in San Francisco and the Bay Area since 2002. Kris Nations Jewels are currently found in over 50 small boutiques in the United States and abroad.
